more Moooooo

There's something comfortingly witty about the kind of satire that announces deus ex machina by titling a chapter "Deus ex Machina" - and then proceeds to provide it in spades. Moo is an enjoyable book; my only quarrel is that with the huge cast of characters, Smiley can't possibly provide enough attention to each one, and sometimes I'd rather know more about the ones that she glides over. But really, when your biggest complaint is that you want to know more, that's pretty good.
